Factory model school
Okay young one, let's talk about a "factory model school". You know how when you go to a factory, you see a lot of machines and workers doing the same thing over and over again to produce something?
Well, a factory model school is kind of like that but with people - students and teachers - instead of machines.
Just like in a factory where everyone does the same job to produce something, in a factory model school, all students in each grade follow the same curriculum and are taught the same way. This means they all take the same classes at the same time, with the same books, and the same teacher.
Also, students are divided into different classrooms and are expected to move from one class to another at designated times. They have to sit in rows and listen quietly to their teacher. There is often little room for discussion, experiments, or individual thinking - all students are expected to learn at the same pace and pass the same tests.
The idea behind a factory model school is to make education efficient - like a factory making the same products again and again. But some people think that education should be more focused on the individual needs and interests of each student, not just treating everyone the same.
So, what do you think, little one? Which way do you think is better - a "factory model school" or a more individualized approach to education?
